HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.-The ordinary meet ing was held yesterday afternoon, Henry Moreton Dyer, Esq., V. P., in the chair. Amongst the presents announced was the last number of the Flora Batava from his Majesty the King of Holland. Dr. Lindley described the various articles in the room, which were not very numerous, though containing some interesting varieties. Amongst the fruit was a new kind of pine.apple. from Mr. Henderson, of very good quality ; a queen pine-apple, weighing 4 ilbs. , from Mr . Davis, gardener to Sir Simon Clark ; some Victoria plums; a large and beauti ful kitchen fruit like the red magnum bonum, from Mr. Denyer ; Washington plums and Kirke's Duchess of Olden burgh apple, from Mr. Joseph Kirke ; and nectarine, Washing- On and other plums, and Acton Scotch peaches, from the g ardens of the Society. The most interesting specimens amougst the plants was one from the sandy plains of Peru, called the soap plant, from its detersive and saponaceous qua lities, and had not previously been noticed by writers on the botany of that country. Mr. Alarryatt exhibited an interesting collection of cockscombs, among which were some new coloured varieties, and, amongst other plants a specimen of lavatera maritime, which although lost for a long time, being well known in 1597 in this couetrv, was now re-introduced for the first time. Messrs. Roliesen exhibited two pretty orchi daceous plants—cattlea crispa, in most brilliant perfection, dispensing every agreeable perfume ; and stanhopea insignia, L e plant frequently seen but never in such good cultivation. F, em the gardens of Mcs. Rothschild, at Gunnersbury, was a fi ne ,-oecimen of fuchsia fulgens, a plant introduced last year from a_lexico, and rendered, with careful cultivation, one of the most interesting specimens from this country. The most prominent specimens from the gardens of the Society was a yellow cataselen'.. sent over by Mr. Hartbeg, the Society's col lector in Mexico; and amphicorne arzula, brought by D.. Royle from the Himalaya mountains. The prizes awarded were the Kei t zlitian Medal to Messrs. Roliison, far cattlea crispa; and Banksia e Medal to Mr. Marrvatt, for cockscombs, and Mr. Mills, of Gunnershury, for fuchsia ful gene.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. you allow me a space in your useful Journal to inform the distant Proprietors of the Hartlepool Docks and Railway of what I understand took place at a General Meet ing of the Company, held at Durham, on the 16th inst. ? A Report, purporting to be the Report of the Com mittee, was read by the Clerk, and immediately proposed " to be adopted," by the gentleman who signed it, as a nominal Chairman for the occasion ; as it now turns out that Mr. Bur don, the regular and highly - re s p ected Chairman of the Com mittee, declined to sign it, much less to move its adoption under such circumstances. This motion found a ready seconder in the Secretary, the writer of th . e Report, who entered into a long ex-parte stateme nt respecting it. The Report, besides various other matter, contained a General Abstract of the f i r st audit of the Company's accounts, extending over a period of six years—embracing the whole of the financial proceedings of the Company since its forma tion, and amounting to upwards of half a million of money 1 in which was comprised many pecuniary transactions and con tracts between several of the Committee, the Secretary, and the Company ; all of which was given in large round sums, and contracted into a space of a few lines 1 It also gave an ex-parte statement in justification of the late attempt to pro cure from Parliament powers to create New Shares to the alarming extent of 130,0001., with a prior claim to interest at 51. per cent. guaranteed upon them—in my opinion so happily frustrated; and which is now found to be quite unnecessary, as the Company's funds are in a situation to declare a dividend of 51. per cent. It must be evident that such a Report was one of the utmost importance to the Company, and demanded the most serious consideration ; which it was quite impossible to do on merely hearing it read in a public meeting. One gentleman, re presenting a very considerable interest, viewing it in this light, proposed that the consideration and adoption of the Report should be adjourned, that time might be given to the Shareholders for duly considering it; and in support of his proposition appealed to the usage of Parliament, and the pro ceedings of all well-regulated public bodies, in similar cases— implying that the Report be laid on the table—that it be printed and circulated among the members—and that a future day be appointed for its consideration. This proposition, so just and reasonable, was, I am informed, at once stifled, by the Colliery party in the Committee and their friends most vehe mently opposing it, and insisting on an immediate decision, and " that the Report be now adopted." Now, may it not be properly asked, why this departure from the best and most established usage on such occasions ? Why such breathless haste to drive the immediate adoption of this " Report 2" One would have supposed, that instead of this extraordinary course, that any Committee or body of men so cir cumstanced (a portion of them having traded so largely with the Company for whom they were Managers) were interested in, and would have courted, inquiry, deliberation, and publicity in every shape, so that the Shareholders might be most per fectly satisfied of its accuracy, before adopting the Report. And will it be believed, that in connection with all this pre viously arranged and extraordinary proceeding, a gentleman deeply connected with the parties driving this motion, actually came forward and proposed a vote of thanks to the Committee on this occasion ?—the reception of which I leave to the par ties present to describe. It remains to be seen in what form the Report will appear—whether as insisted upon and carried, or in some other shape. And it is for the Shareholders to say whether this matter is to rest here. The only statement of accounts rendered by the Secretary to the Shareholders, of which no audit has ever been made although the Company has existed six years, is as follows : RECEIPTS. Subscribers for instalments Interest on arrears of calls, Exchequer Bills, and spare materials sold Railway and Dock dues, &c Loans on bonds and mortgage 6,892 14 2 21,804 14 4 75,762 8 4 10,649 18 5 Balance due, T.

Upholding the Railway and docks, &c. £322,359 15 3 Such a statement in lump sums was never before presented to any body of shareholders by any public company, and it now behoves the the Shareholders to look to their interests, or their property will suffer.

The Champ de Mars was well attended yesterday, and was honoured by the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Or leans, who was accompanied by several personages of distinction. The weather was very fine, and great interest was excited by the result of the dispute between the three and four year olds. The Arrondissement prize, 2,000 f., for colts and fillies, three years o'd, was won easily as follows (once round, one mile and a quarter) : The produce of the royal stud of the Hares du Pin, a b. c., Fretillon, by Sylvio, dam Ernelina, in 2m. 17 1-sth sec. (Robinson) 1 His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans's b. f. Margarita 2 Lord H. Seymour's b. c. Vendredi M. Bouvier's b. c. Young Sultan Richmond, belonging to the Royal stud, bolted ; their colt Eylau was drawn, as also Lord H. Seymour's c. Fortunatus. The Second Arrondissement Prize, for horses and mares four years old and upwards (twice round), was won easily : The Produce of the Royal stud, Ali Baba, 4 yrs, by Holbein, dam Cloton (Robinson), 4m. 55 3-sth sec .. 1 Same produce, Dulciaa, 4 yrs 2 Lord H. Seymour's b. c. Oak Stick, 3 yrs Corisandre, from the Royal stud, and Lord Henry Seymour's h. Royal George, were entered, but did not start. Ali Baba was bred in the paddocks of the Haras du Pin, in Nor mandy ; at eight months old he was worried by a wolf, who tore the near hind quarter in a serious manner, and the colt was despaired of for some time. He was a great favourite from a foal, and, should he live to add to the amelioration of the breed of thorough bred stock in this country, the amateurs will always know him from the laceration on his near hind quarter. An inquest was held yesterday in King's-road, St. Pancras, on the body of a female infant, apparently about four months old, which was found on Monday by a policeman floating in the Regent's Canal. A surgeon deposed that he could find no marks of violesice on the body, and that he be lieved death had been occasioned by drowning. Verdict— " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." The infant was dressed in a bedgown and nightcap only, and appeared to have been in the water about two days. THE COOLY MAN.—A Correspondent of the Liverpool Chronicle writes—" I have been twice this week called upon for my vote for Robertson Gladstone, the Cooly man. It is hardly necessary for me to say that I sent the canvassers to the right about. You cannot do better than agitate the Cooly traffic : I know of three Methodists— Tories, who will vote against the Cooly man, solely on account of this traffic and reading your paper." The Edinburgh Courant devotes a long and a somewhat inconclusive article to the unqualified condemna tion of the popular agitation now in progress. We arc not about re-opening the main question relative to the People's Charter, nor are we going to repeat the expression of our opinion, that the working men should now prefer procuring the repeal of the Corn-laws to agitation on behalf of that Charter ; bet when the Courant states, as a fact w hick cannot be denied, that " in this country there is really no practical grievance to account for or to justify this agitation," we must be permittco to think our Contemporary/1s strangely oblivious. If the Corn-laws be not a " practical grievance," we really know not what amount of mischief, of public wrong and rob bers', constitute a grievance, in our Scotch Contemporary's estimate. Wh e n killing shall be hvld no murder, the star_ vation systNn, perhaps, may not be called a practical grievance ; hut unti l then, laws to make food dear, and to limit the supply of the people's daily bread, by iniquitous prohibitions, down to the starving point, will, we apprehend, be sool;en of by the people, and generally considered by hem a great grievance, fully justifying agitation. NOVEL MODE OF SHA VING.—W i hile I was n the shepherd's encampment I saw shaving performed in a very extraordinary manner. The thigh-bone of a sheep was i broken, and the narrow of it smeared on the patient's head, icheeks, and chin. The shepherds generally carry a sheep's thigh-bone, to be ready for the operation, stuck in their Igatter, just as a Highlander wears his little knife for ham. stringing deer.— Urquhart's Travels in the .East. THE CORN CROPS. SCOTLAND.—In this neighbourhood there has been, as yet, little harvest work, only a few fields here and there being cut down; but the fields are everywhere ripening fast : and if the weather continue favourable, it is probable that barley harvest will be general here in the course of next week. Yesterd.:y we had two or three severe showers, accompanied with hail and distant thunder; the storm, however, speedily passed away, and the weather returned to its former genial state.— Edinburgh Courant of last Monday. We have, upon the whole, had excellent weather for the last few days. There has been an occasional shower, which perhaps we might have been as well without, but little injury has yet been done, and, although late, the crops in this dis trict are generally of a good and healthy appearance. The wheat fields have assumed the yellow tinge indicative of ap proaching ripeness, and a considerable quantity of barley has been cut. All around from Glasgow to Hamilton, and along the vale of Clyde, the appearance of the country justifies the hope of an abundant harvest—Glasgow Herald. A stalk of oats was pulled a few days ago in a field in the neighbourhood of Cupar Fife, which measured five feet in height, and near the root was a quarter of an inch i❑ circumference ; the head contained 127 grains. The harvest is now proceeding rapidly in the neighbour hood of Stamford; and, with some few exceptions, the corn is well got. The reports from surrounding districts, both for quantity and quality, are very promising. —Lincol n Ga zette. IRELAND. —The accounts from the country continue of the same cheering description as noticed in our last. Yesterday there was every appearance of a change to rain, but by three o'clock it blew off, and up to the hour of going to press this day, the weather remains unchanged.—Dublin Evening Mail of Monday. . _ _ HANONrER, Arc. 26.—The fine weather has had the effect here as well as in other parts of allaying the apprehensions of scarcity. The prices of corn have fallen as rapidly as they rose a fortnight ago. The farmers are busy filling their barns, and the harvest will be extremely productive. MAYENCE, AUG. 24.—The weather being good, the corn will soon be housed. Both the quality and quantity of the crop is said to excel that of many late years. THE BISHOP OF EXETER REBUKED BY ONE OF HIS TORY CLERGY. The subjoined letter, which has been widely circulated, has caused a great sensation in the eastern part of the county. I t is written by the rector of Feniton, near Honiton, in answer to a circular in reference to confirmation, which the Bishop drew up and sent to all the clergy of his diocese : " Rectory, Feniton, Aug. 24, 1838. "My Lord—l have this day had the honour of receiving from your Lordship a printed letter, subjoining an exhortation, &c., for me to read at least four Sundays preceding the day of confirmation.' No man has a greater respect for you than I have ; no man honours more your good inten tions and character as a Member of the Upper House of Parliament; and no man is more willing to obey you, in all things lawful and honest,' as I pledged myself to one of your predecessors in office. But on what authority do you order me to enjoin my people to read over, with due attention, the o f fice of Baptism to the Com mon Prayer Book?' and to require at their hands such an account of their knowledge of the Christian religion as is contained in the Church catechism.' Is it not more becoming a Christian minister to exalt the Bible—to exhort them to the study of the Bible—and to require such au account of their knowledge of the Christian religion as is contained in that? If you choose to draw your doctrine from tradition rather than the Bible, is that nny reason that . l should do the same? " On what authority do you command me to throw into the back ground that which God commands me promi nently to hold aloft, namely, the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus?' 2 Tim. 1, i. ; Acts 5, xxviii. On what authority do you command me to ground my pastoral ex hortations on a foundation different from that which is laid in Scripture, and abstracted from the promises of the cove nant of grace? God holds out the oath which he swore unto Abraham and his seed as the strong and fundamental consolation of believers. You command me to hold out to them promises made for them by their proxies, the benefits of confirmation, and the blessing of the Bishop. God commands me to preach Jesus Christ his son, the efficacy of his all-atoning blood, and that men should find salvation in God their Saviour. You require me to inst ruct men that the chief part of a religious ordinance is their o wn. God teaches that we are admitted into covenant wit h Him when He, of his own free grace, has written his laws in our hearts You require me to teach men that they enter into covenant with God by the responses which they are d irected to make. God teaches that we find salvation in the Saviour, and in faith (faith being not indigenous naturally in the human soul, as is often falsely represented, but one of the parts of the covenant of grace—faith being the same thing as the " knowledge of God," mentioned by the prophets as one of the gifts of the cove nant ofgrace, Rom. 4, xvi.) but you command me to teac h that men are to find their salvation wholly or partly in themselves. " In short, on what authority do you sit down and write any sermon, good, bad, or indifferent, send it to me, and command me to preach it to my congregation ? A Minister of the Gos pel should preach that which he learns from Scripture, under the teaching of the Eternal Spirit. He should preach none of the productions of other men —no, not of the most enlightened ; and as for such sentiments as those which you require me on the present occasion to adopt and to preach, they are calcu lated to mislead inexperienced Ministers, and give countenance and currency to those damnable heresies now springing up like mists among the marshes of Oxford, and darkening all the land far and wide. Moreover, I defy any man living to recon cile these sentiments of yours with the 10th, llth, 13th, and 17th articles. The 20th article also I advise you to study before you send us any more exhortations' to read in our churches. I have no disrespect to you personally. If you suspect me of being actuated by a spirit of contumacy in what, I am saying, I would only remark that unresisting acquiescence in unscriptural doctrine forms no part of the Christian charac ter, nor has ever promoted true religion in this country ; and that brotherly remonstrance against spiritual usurpation is a thing perfectly distinct from insubordination to secular authority. " The substance of the matter is this : —You command, or request us to lend ourselves to the propagation of doctrines contrary to the principles of the oracles of God, an d to t h e whole tenor of the doctrine of justification by faith, as taught in the Thirty-nine Articles, the true source (let it be we ll un derstood) of Church of England doctrine. And (as if once were not enough) you require us to read your form four times, at least.' Ought we not to answer, we are muc h ob liged to you, but we have already forms enough and t o spare , and do not need to borrow just now from yonr private store ? We will not worship the image which thou hast set up. To answer, however, for myself: I do not refuse to give all due publicity to the confirmation ; but I refuse to do the other things which you require in this matter. I will neither sub • stitute the precepts of man for the omnipotent word of God, nor represent the ceremony of confirmation as superseding the promise made to Abraham and his seed, nor exalt the Bishop to such a degree of super-apostolical pre-eminence as nullifies the sovereign grace of God, nor ascribe to you, your office, or your ministrations, the smallest part of that glory which is due to God our Saviour, to whom alone the glory of the whole of our salvation is due. I have the honour, &c. &c. HENRY E. HEAD. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY,-SEPT. 4 GENERAL PALMER'S BANKRUPTCY: A meeting of the creditors of this bankrupt, who, it will be remembered, lately represented the city of Bath in Parlia. ment, and also carried on the wine trade in May-fair, was called, for the purpose of proving a debt due by the bankrupt to his brother, the Rev. John Palmer, who resides in the county of Essex. At a former meeting of the bankrupt's creditors, held ft.r general proof of debts, and his final examination, on the face of the balance-sheet then submitted it appeared that the liabilities of the estate were upwards of 150,0001 , prin. cipally in bills of exchange. The official assignee then stated that he had not, up to that period, received one shilling for the . benefit of the creditors, neither was he in possession of any voucher or memorandum by which he could scrutinise the claims made, as the General never kept books or accounts while engaged in mercantile transactions. It further appeared that there .was no probability of any as sets being realised, as no account of good or doubtful debts, of which any probability of payment existed, had been "iven ; and, if any funds were to be recovered, they could only be ex pected from the proceeds of a wine estate in France, the pro perty of the bankrupt, now in the hands of an agent, but deeply mortgaged. M. Estanade, the agent, had written, stating that the only way to dispose of it would be to put it up by lottery in a certain number of shares. The official as signee said he would not object to this proposition, had he any funds, but as he had not received any money on account of the estate, the matter must rest as it was. The General, how ever, passed his last examination , sever al of the t-.euihiors s having stated that they did not wish to dela y his obtang certificate. The proof of debt tendered at the meeting yesterday was one which stood over at the former date, and was made on the estate by the Rev. Mr. Palmer, an insolvent debtor, for the sum of 10,4581. As the deposition was not signed. ,by the assignee to the Re - .% Gentleman's estat e and effects a claim was allowed only, it being understood that the as signees should join in the affidavit, and appear before one of the Commissioners in Bankruptcy to swear to it, befT . e TheTefore tais it should be filed upon the proceedings• meeting was speedily convened to allow the parties to come forward, and also any of the creditors who wished to oppose the claim.

FRANCE AND BUENOS AYRES. SUPPLEMENT TO THE PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR OF BUENOS AYRES, CHARGED WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION, AND THE REAR ADMIRAL COMMANDING THE FRENCH NAVAL FORCES ON THE STATION OF BRAZIL. Frigate Minerve, at anchor in Montevideo. April 12, 1838. To his Excellency the Governor and Captain-General of the Province of Buenos Ayres, charged with the Foreign Af fairs of the Argentine Confederation. Excellent Sir,—The letter which you did me the honour to address me on the 3d inst. I have just received, and hasten to answer it. Your Excellency has already got rid of two of my demands by acts that have recently taken place; the first is the trial of Mr. Peter Lavie; the second the discharge from the militia of the French who had been enrolled in it against their will. I cannot therefore any longer pretend that you unjustly detain my fellow countrymen in your prisons or militia. I have nothing further to demand than guarantees against the renewal of acts that might be repeated and cause similar demands on the part of the French Government. My two first demands have no other object. I entreat your Excellency to allow me to repeat them, elucidating separately each of them. The first relates to the suspension in regard to Frenchmen of the application of the principles of the Argentine Govern ment with respect to foreigners ; and that you should pledge yourself to treat the French persons and property as are treated the persons and property of the most favoured nation, until the intervention of a treaty. " To engage to treat the French and their property in the same manner as are treated the property and persons of the most favoured nation." This second part of my demand requires no comment ; to refuse it would show a wish to outrage France, for no where has it been pretended to place her in the second rank of nations respecting the considerations which are due to her. Nothing is therefore asked in this that might be detrimental to the Government of the Argentine Republic. I come to my second demand : To recognize in the French Government the right to claim indemnities in favour of the French who may have suffered unjustly in their persons or property, in consequence of acts of the Argentine Government. What is there more just or more moderate than this de mand? and how could it be pretended to refuse it? Can it be said that its object is to impose on the Argentine Govern ment exorbitant and arbitrary pretensions ? Undoubtedly not. In such cases there would be error or bad faith ; because, if your Excellency's acts are just and legal, it suffices that you offer the proof of their justice to the Government of the King of the French, in or d er t o p reven t a ll d eman d s. If, on the contrary, they were unjust and arbitrary, and you refuse to indemnify the person who might have suffered by them, would not this refusal be unworthy your generous sentiments, and would not your Excellency be the first to ac knowledge their injustice ? Your Excellency cannot imagine, as you have done me the honour to state, that I have presented myself before Buenos Ayres at the head of a squadron to impose upon the Argentine Government by a display of force. I have never conceived the idea of threatening any one; threats have always appeared to me useless and unworthy a man of honour. Your Excellency knows that two French vessels have for some time past been stationed off Buenos Ayres, that it was necessary to employ another to convey me thither; conse quently, thisjunction was entirely fortuitous, and certainly had not the object that your Excellency appears to have attributed to it. I came so convinced of the justice and moderation of my demands, the good faith and conviction with which I presented them to your Excellency was such, that I did not even believe in the possibility of a denial. I had flattered myself with terminating this dispute, which I deplored ; and in order to manifest to your Excellency the sincerity of the sentiments I expressed in the name of the Government of the King of the French, I wished to offer your Excellency one of the corvettes under my command, in order to convey to France the person whom, as I was informed, your Excellency intended to send, in order to discuss there the interests and affairs of the Ar gentine Republic. If your Excellency is willing to accede to these two demands, and will be good enough to inform me thereof through the me dium of your Minister, the Consul, M. Roger, will resume his duties, the blockade will immediately be raised, and I shall leave before Buenos Ayres only one corvette, which I shall place at the disposal of your Excellency in the event of your desiring to make use of it, in order to send an agent to the Government of the King of the French. I entreat your Excellency to admit the assurance of the high consideration with which I have the honour to be your Excel lency's very humble andobedient servant, L. LEBLANC, The Rear-Admiral, Commanding-in-Chief on the station of Brazil and in the South Seas. Buenos Ayres, April 26, 1838. To his Excellency the Rear-Admiral commanding-in-chief the squadron of his Majesty the King of the French, on the Brazil station and in the South Seas. Excellent Sir,—l have the honour to answer the very es teemed letter of your Excellency dated the 12th instant, and considering myself bound by it to reciprocate the friendly sentiments you have maintained towards me, I feel it to be my duty also to assure you of my sincere desire to respond to them. Although your Excellency has already shown yourself con vinced that two of your reclamations no longer exist, you, nevertheless, are under a mistake when you attribute their non-existence to recent acts of my Administration. The sen tence pronounced against Peter Lavie is dated the 21st of March, previous to your Excellency having presented yourself with your squadron before this capital ; your reclamation is dated the 24th of the same month, consequently it was pos terior, and was written when the fact to which it referred no longer existed. Neither has it influenced the discharge of the French from the service in the militia, where they might have been en rolled. On having the honour to state, as I did to your Ex cellency in my former letter of the 3d inst., that in the regular army, and in the corps of militia, there is no Frenchman either condemned to serve, or called upon by the chiefs of regiments to serve, although the laws of this country pre scribe it, it was not my object to present you a new and recent fact produced by the solicitations of your Excellency, but only to bring before you a correct narration of the real state of things before your said reclamation. Such was my simple and categorical answer, and since I cannot refuse entering into this ex planation, I trust that your Excellency, will accept it kindly, persuading yourself that I am impelled to enter into , t h ese details by the opin i o n I have f ormed of your noble frankness during the esteemed private correspondence with which your Excellency favours me. And on stating to your Excellency in the official note of this Government, dated the 26th o f March, before the declaration of blockade, that you might co nfidently receive, if deemed conven i en t, explanations an d unequivocal proof which, l eav i ng no d ou b t o f t h e senti ments of justice and policy of this Government, would convince E x cellency that it was not my personal will that prov o k e d your these events, but the incorrect idea formed of the acts of dig nity and justice of the Argentine Government, I proposed to engage 'our Excellency to ex am i ne persona ll y the real state of the question, according to the facts and most characteristic circumstances connected with it, which, however easy it would be to transmit them verbally, it would not be advisable to pro duce in writing. Your Excellency, very far from accepting this friendly and generous o ffer, as in harmony with the spirit of sinc ere friend ship I evinced towards France, as agree a bl e to t h e consi derations due to theill i u n st t r h io e u s s a i i i. d erson of your Excellency, re jected it, and declared month the port of Buenos Ayres and all the littoral of the river appertaini ng to t h e As.. gentine Republic in a state of rigorous blockade by the French naval forces under your command, without the facts on which said blockade was founded having any existence. Consequently, in persisting in that declaration, and in de manding guarantees to prevent the renewal of acts that might occasion similar demands on the part of the French Govern. meat, your Excellency has changed the question. It no longe r regards injuries done to Frenchmen, or violations of any real right of France, but only relates to pretensions which being necess arily the object a treaty, th e A rgent i ne of Go vernment can discuss with the same liberty as any other Go vernment, in the manner most agreeable to its interests, and without its refusal being a just motive for carrying on hostili ties against it. After the elucidation of facts has caused the reclamations of your Excellency to disappear ; after having obtained from your a nswer the most perfect pledge of your justice, in consi dering me entirely disposed in favour of your fellow-country men, and that I am not animated by any offensive feelings against France; I consider myself also entitled to expect that, acting in conformity with your character, and not de viating from the friendly intentions of your nation, you will not permit yourself for a moment to think that I should be able to consent to those guarantees in a manner that is not in accord ance with the use end practice of civilized nations; and the more so since, being charged with the foreign affairs of a state whose sovereignty and independence his Majesty the King of the French has recognized, pledging himself thereby to give it the homage and consideration which all Govern. ments in cases of this nature reciprocally pay one an other; and if no example can be cited similar to the one which the disagreeable events between his Excellency the Rear- Adrair,ll and the Argentine Government actuallo present, much less ought Ito be considered capable of acknowledging a principle which is resisted by all Governments — viz., that in the highly honourable position which I occupy , of pre siding o ver t h e d est i n i es of the Argentine Confederation, I should admit the intervention of your Excellency in your dis tinguished c h aracter o f R ear -Admiral, Commander-in -Chief of a seuedron of his Majesty the King of the French, when ever the interest and security of your countrymen might re quire it ; f or, con f orma bl y to t h e e stablished practice of all netions on th e su bj ect , I on ly recognize in them the right to appoint Mi n i s t ers an d p u blic agents regularly accredited, who may remonstrate in the name of their Sovereign against pro ceedings which rni(rlit compromise the int erests and security of their feilow-subjects. I return your Excellency my sincere thanks for the gent rems kindness with which your Excellency offers me one of the corvettes under y our command, in the event_ of my desiring t make us e o f it to send an agent to the Governmentof the Kin?: of the French ; and in case that it may be necessary necessary to accredit cue, I s hall feel highly gratified that he should be conveyed there in one of the corvettes under your command. Your Excellency will accept the assurance v,hii o e f l es teem and particular considerat i o n with • your Excell ency ' s ver y obedient and attentive servant, JUAN MANUEL DE ROSAS. Frigate Minerve, Montevideo, May 5. To Brigadh r.. General Don Juan Manuel de Roses, Governor of Bue nos Ay r es, charged with the Foreign Affairs of the Argentine Confederation. Excellent Sir, —I duly received the letter dated the 26th of April, by which your Excellency did me the honour to answer the one I addressed you under date 12th of said month. The liberation from the service of the militia to which many of my fellow-countrymen had been forcibly subjected, ❑nd the liberation from prison of M. Peter Lavie, are two facts avowed by your Excellency : they have existed; by }our orders they have ceased. The simple and natural consequence to be de duced therefrom is that they can be repeated ; I do not then change the question, as your Excellency appears to think, when I demand guarantees against their repetition, and I do not bring forward a pretension which a treaty can alone conse crate. I have the honour of repeating to you that my demand binds you to nothing definitive, that it is merely temporary, and that its duration will expire on the day in which the French and Argentine Governments, after having negotiated in com plete liberty, shall have fixed in a positive and definitive manner their reciprocal rights and relations. That your Excellency may refuse to acknowledge in my person the legal character necessary to discuss with your Go ♦ernmcnt the principles of its policy or of its administration; that you decline all interference on my part in the discussion of a treaty which cannot be negotiated except by an agent especially accredited to that effect, nothing is more just or less disputable; but that you may consider that you can extend this interdiction to my right of interfering in circumstances in which the interest or security of my fellow-countrymen may require it, and still more so when the agent of the Govern ment of his Majesty the King of the French has reclaimed in vain, and that repeated refusals have compelled him to quit his post, I ask your Excellency's pardon, but in this case you labour under a mistake : your opinion is contrary to the natu ral right exercised by all nations. It is opposed to the natural laws'of their security ; and to the special orders I have from the Government of his Majesty. The discussion of your acts does not appertain to use, they can only be discussed by the agent who has received from the Government of his Majesty orders on this subject; but I must demand official guarantees against the repetition of acts of the nature of those which you have made to cease ; this is what I persist in doing. M. Roger, the Consul, to whom the reiterated orders from the Government of his Majesty prescribe the duty of pursuing with the Argentine Government demands, the motives of which your Excellency will allow my not repeating here, is ready to resume the official duties which he was forced to cease, and the discussion of the facts that have produced the actual state of our differences, as soon as you have acquiesced in my demands. If, however, your Excellency should persist in the refusal you have expressed to me, you may address in a direct man ner to the Government of the King of the French your obser vations, or the representations which you may deem proper to submit to it. For my part, I cannot deviate from the duties which have been traced out to me. My duties compel me to quit the waters of the River Plate, in order to repair to Rio Janeiro: I leave to the Captain commanding the blockading division, instructions and orders to retire with his division, and raise the blockade, under the conditions which I have had the honour to announce to your Excellency; I consequently entreat you, in case you may deem it convenient to accept them, to be kind enough to inform him thereof. I pray your Excellency to accept the assurance of the very high consideration with which I have the honour to be, Your very humble and obedient servant, L. LEBLANC. The Rear-Admiral Commanding-in-Chief on the Station of Brazil and in the South Seas. MILAN. Au°. 26.—From an early hour yesterday the fine road which runs through an exuberantly rich and picturesque country from this city to the town of Como, beautifully situate at the extremity of the lake of the same name, and about eight leagues from Milan, was thronged with carriages of every description, equestrians, and foot passengers, all hastening to witness the arrival of the Emperor and Empress in the neigh bourhood of Como. _ _ __ _ Long before the steam-vessel in which were their Imperial Majesties, who had embarked aboard it from the magnificent villa Melzi, near Bellagio, some leagues further up the lake, where they had passed the night, appeared in view, the quays, shores, and even more distant eminences from which a view of the Villa Raimondi, where their Majesties were to land, could be had, were crowded with spectators, whilst the ex panse of the lake opposite the villa, and to a considerable distance beyond it, was covered with boats carrying a full freight of curiosity and eager expectation. Their Imperial Majesties were received on landing before the Villa Raimondi by Prince Metternich, Count Kolovvrath, and Marshal Count Radetzki, Military Commander •in-Chief of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, and complimented by the civil, military, and ecclesiastical authorities of the town and d:strict. At tLis grand entrance of the villa their Majes ties were welcomed by the Imperial Archduchess, the Vice- Queen, and the two young Princesses, her daughters. After a short interval of repose the Emperor and Empress stepped out on the balcony of the villa, and were hailed with numerous vivas. After dinner their Majesties and the Vice-Queen, at tended by the Great Officers of State present, and followed by a numerous and brilliant cortege, set out for Como, which they entered under a temporary triumphal arch, and traversed several of the principal streets, which were tapestried, fes tooned with flowers, and exhibiting at intervals appropriate de vices and inscriptions. After visiting the ruins of the Castle Bazadello, built by Frederick Barbarosa, and other interesting monuments and parts of the town, the imperial party returned to the Villa Raimondi. This splendid villa, about half a league distant from Como, commands an extensive and en chanting view over the blue and sparkling waters of the lake and its romantic shores, gently rising into luxuriantly wooded hills, which are thickly studded with hundreds (I speak lite rally) of magnificent villas belonging to the Milanese nobility, with their statue-adorned terraces, hanging gardens, and groves of orange and lemon trees, that fling their delicious fragrance far over the waters. Besides these lordly and im posing mansions, there are thousands of other rural habita tions, either nestling in groups in the verdurous hollows of the hills, or scattered singly on their sunny slopes and on their most picturesque points. In the back ground are the lofty ridges of the Splugar mountains, their precipitous sides glis tening with cascades, whilst in the crevices near the summits are still to be seen huge patches of ice and snow. In the midst of this enchanting scenery lay the lake, reflecting all its beauties as in a mirror, unless when its surface was ploughed up by numberless barges, barks, and boats of every description. Amongst these some of the largest had castel lated or Gothic erections upon them, or were tastefully painted, gilded, and adorned with statues, emblems, and devices analagous to the occasion, and served either for a dis play of fireworks or as orchestras for bands of wind instru ments, Tyrolese singers, &c. When night came down upon the scene, all these barks were lighted up, the smallest having a large painted paper lantern on the poop and the prow, and the larger ones being almost entirely covered with a glimmer of variegated light. The glancing of these illuminated barks over the lake in every direction, the blaze and coruscations of fireworks, some on board the barges and others on a larger scale on some of the neighbouring eminences, together with the immense fires on the tops of the more distant hills and mountains, the firing of the cannon at intervals, the full and thrilling harmony of the floating orchestras of wind instruments, alternating with the wilder strains of the Swiss and Tyrolese singers, the shouts, and songs, and laughter of the joyous parties in the boats, the deep blue sky above with its innumerable diamond lights, and the awful forms of the mountains, that seemed as a rude but magnificent frame to the magic picture, presented a combination of sights and sounds of the most in tensely effective and delightful nature, the impression of which can never be effaced from the memory, though any attempt to convey an adequate idea of it must be a failure. In the course of the evening the Emperor and Empress, Vice-Queen, and their brilliant suite, embarked on board a splendidly decorated barge, and was rowed up and down through the throng of illuminated boat s , an d am id s t th e v i tas o f t h ose i n the boats and upon the shore. After their Majesties' return from the lake to the Villa Raimondi, a very splendid display of fire works took place, in the midst of which appeared in a blaze of variegated light the imperial bust and initials. It was not till a late hour of the night, or rather indeed hour of the morning, that the last glimmerings of this gorgeous pageant and almost fairy vision faded from the calm surface of the lake. AUGUST 29. —The Emperor, Empress, Imperial Family, and Court are n0 , ..7 residing at Monza, where they arrived the day before yesterday, and where they will sojourn until Satur day, when the Imperial party will make their solemn and puhl;c entry into Mi!an. Amongst other persons of note, the following Extraordi nary Ambassadors have arrived in Milan : —The Baily de Ta tischeff, Extraordinary Ambassador and Plenipotentiary of the Court of Russia ; Count de Maltzahan, Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Prussian Court; Baron de Moll:, rus, Envoy Extraordinary of the Netherlands ; Prince de Sayn Withff b enstein, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plcnipot en _ t Lieutenant-Gener a l B aron T a k en b orn, En _ y Extraordinary inary of B.iden ; Bar on d e O ss i n i , R es i dent v i o ary of itu Minister of the Duchy of Lucca and Nassau at the Court of du c g Austria; si Ch e valier Don Andrea d e P r i nc i pe Corsini, Duca livno, Chamberlain of his R oya l Hi ghness the Grand a Duke of Tuscany.

MOVEMENTS OF THE MPEROR OF RUSSIA. TRGERNSEE, BAVARIA, Avo. 25 —The Emperor Nicholas arrived among us at Munich some 10 or 12 days ago, and, no previous notice of the exact time baing given, quite unexpect edly. Instead of driving to the Palace, ho stopped at the posthouse, and proceeded forelievith to Kreuth, leaving word for the King where to find him. In the mean time, the Emperor arrived incognito at Tegern see, when he got alane into a small peaty is gc_eart with one horse and proceeded on to Kreuth, before reaching which place he had several adventures at tile various lines of Gen. darmes stationed round the baths, who strictly questioned him, and were rather susicious, front his mode of travel ling, of his ide n tity with 'the name he bore on his passport —the Count of A:llersberg. It is retorted that at the last post, the objections to let him proceed were so various, that he was obliged to state his real rank, which the 13ava:i:In Wachmetster, accustomed to the pomp of his own anointed master's mode of travelling, and doubtless impressed wi.it high . notions of the mag n ifi cence an d state befitting an au tocratical progress, treated as a tnauvais plaisanteric of some unprincipled adventurer, or pos,ibly a Polish assassin. The a;severations and threats of the Emperor made but little impression on the sturdy sergeant ; that trusty func tionary was not to be easily persuaded to contravene his orde , s to stop all suspicious individuals, especially those whose parer were not perfectly en regle, and the Emperor's was a case in point. Wh a t was to b e d one? T he Emperor was becoming outrageous, and would not return the way he had come, as was proposed by the urirelenting rgeant as a pout d'or to the disguised Count, so the affair finished by the adoption of a mezzo (ermine in the shape of a corporal's guard to serve as an escort to the enigmatical Emperor, according as the matter might turn out. It was, however, soon cleared up, for the EmpreEmpress was walki ng i n t h e neighbourhood, and when his ss was led before her in this guise, her astonishment and joy at meeting him so unexpectedly created a scene d'atten drissernent, which perfectly edified and satisfied the too scru pulous genda:Tmes. The Emperor returned to Munich the next day to me.:t the King, and to attend the review and other fetes provided to honour his arrival. Their Majesties, after a few days spent in this manner, again left the capital to return to Tegernsee and Kreuth, where all the Courts are now assembled. You may have heard of a report respecting a marriage being on foot between the Prince Royal of Bavaria arid a Grand Duchess. There is at present no question of such an alliance, notwithstanding the desire of tke King of Bavaria, and the wishes, until lately, entertained on the subject by the Eaiperor of Russia, for there exists an invincible aversion to the scheme on the part of the Prince Royal. The Court of Russia, however, in order to come to a clear understanding on the subject, sent to Munich last year a Countess d'E--e, a Dame d'Honneur of the Grand Duchess Helena, who was in structed, as it was confidently reported, to ascertain sous main if there existed any possibility of changing the Prince's disposition of mindAand of bringing about the marriage. The Prince soon penetrated the secret object of the lady's visit, and his antipathy to it increased proportionately with the advances made to him. After a fruitless stay of two or three months, Madame d'E --e returned to St. Petersburgh, and the affair is now completely broken off. The flattering manner in which his Imperial Majesty has distinguished since his arrival in Bavaria the Duke of Leuch tenberg (only surviving son of Prince Eugene) is causing a great sensation at this Court, where that Prince does not enjoy the privileges of the Royal Family, from the dislike which the King entertains to the alliance of his family with the son of the Empress Josephine, which he considers as a "mesalliance." Whether the Emperor of all the Russias would consider such a connexion in that light is become to all appearances very questionable. This young Prince, who is heir to all the noble and amiable qualities by which his father was distin— guished, was invited last year by the Emperor to attend the manoeuvres at Wosnesensk. Since the Emperor is in Bavaria the Duke has been his constant companion and that of the Empress. Of course this extreme preference is not without its effect upon the Bavarian Court, and the surmises it has given rise to are general. The Czarowitz is expected to-day from Augsburg, and the stay of the Empress at Kreuth will probably terminate in about eight days. Horses are already being stationed for her journey to Frederickshafen, where she visits the Court of Wurtemberg, and afterwards proceeds to Leipsic. As to the Emperor's movements, nothing is known of course, nor will be ill we hear that he has left us.— Times. TL -'id .ie attendance on Windsor -terrace on Sunday week was much greater than on any previous day this season. It was literally crowded, and the Queen was so beset as she passed along to the Slopes, as to express herself thankful when she got within the doors of the Orangery. The com pany at the time paid but little attention to the rules hitherto observed, and made their way, helter skelter," from all parts across the flower garden, to the spot where her Majesty was walking.—Reading Mercury. FISH, FLESH, AND FOWL.—Last Saturd a y Thomas Woodhouse, fisherm an , o f H eaton, on hauling in his nets, found in them a hare, a crow, a flounder, and a salmon. —Lancaster Guardian. THE FISHERY IN CORN WALL..--ACCOrding to present appearances we may anticipate a very successful year. The fish are seen in abundance on both coasts, and those taken are particularly fine. We have received the following parti culars of the fishery this week. On Monday evening last, the two scans belonging to Charlestown were shot for the first time this season, and both enclosed good shoals of fish. The new seen belonging to Messrs. Morcom, took about 200 hogsheads, and the other about half that quantity, nearly all of which have been sold fresh at 3s. per flasket, or 365. per hogshead. All the fishermen say that they have not seen such fine fish since 1817, which was the last successful season for this neighbour hood. About 250 hogsheads of very fine pilchards were taken at Coverack on Tuesday afternoon. Scans were also shot at the Lizard, but missed the fish. Upwards of 200 hogsheads of remarkably fine pilchards have been taken at Polruan. Several scans shot in Mount's Bay on Wednesday, but lost the fish owing to shooting in too deep water. A scan belonging to the Mount took up about 70 hogsheads of fine fish. The driving boats are doing very well. There are plenty of fish in the bay, and hook-fish—cod, ling, hake, &c., are abundant. The fishermen of St. Ives have just commenced the herring fishery, and 5,000 a boat have been brought in. Pilchards are frequently seen, but not near enough for the seans.— Falmouth Express. EXECUTIONS IN CONSTANTINOPLE.---We had passed over to Constantinople, and I was picking my way through the filthy winding of the fish bazaar, when. I just looked up in time to prevent myself from running against the body of a man which was hanging from the /env project ing roof of one of the shops ; his feet about eighteen inches from the ground. There was nothing over his face, which was perfectly white ; his hands and feet blacl ; he was a Greek by his dress, and had on his turban and Lis common costume, just as if he hi been picked out of the street and hanged up with out any further preparation or ceremony. There was such a total absence of the paraphernalia of death by the law, that I could scarcely persuade myself that the object I now saw sus pended in a narrow street, opposite a shop door, was really a human being whose life had been thus taken away. People were in the shop buying and selling as if nothing bad hap pened ; and of the forty or fifty idlers who were collected out side, the feeling seemed to be either that of savage exultation, heartless mirth, or perfect indifference I To the honour of the Turkish women be it said, that not one was to be found, in imitation of the civilised English, feasting her eyes on this disgulting spectacle. Passing on at random up one street and down another, our indignation and horror was increased tenfold at seeing the body of a woman hanging against the wall at the entrance of one of the bazaars. One fold of her yashmac, or muslin scarf, was over her face, bnt I could see sufficiently to tell that it was handsome. An English gentleman whom we met at dinner told us that he had seen the man upwards of an hour after he was hanged, and that he was not then dead! And no won der, for the execution is performed by first tying a rope round the poor wretch's neck, then passing it over the first conve nient beam they see, a n d t h us h auling up, when they leave him to struggle in his agonies as long as human nature will hold out. The woman, we heard, betrayed no symptoms of fear whatever at her fate. They hung for three whole days, and immediately they were taken down two others were sa crificed in like manlier ; and two days after that again two others—some said six ! The authorities offered on one occa sion to spare the life of a female culprit, but her father re quested, as a particular favour, that no mercy might be shown her, adding, at the same time, that if they sent her home to, him, he should put her to death himself. The bodies, after hanging the usual time, were thrown into the Bosphorus with out any weight attached to them, and there left to rot, day by day, on the surface, in full view of the whole city. A young surgeon told me that one floated past near his house, and that he had been trying all the morning with a rope and hook to catch it for the purposes of dissection. But now we have sufficiently " supped upon horrors," and I think I have given some pretty specimens of what a late writer calls " the moral beauty of the Turkish character !"—Lieut. Rose's " Three Months' Lear.," A WORD FOR THE DOGS.—We copy from the Bath Guardian the following paragraph, which appears to us well-timed, and characterised by much more good sense than we commonly meet with in paragraph writers on the same subject, who, instead of appealing to reason and actual ex perience, generally speak to the foolish fears of people, and thus perpetuate a popular and most pernicious delusion : About this time of the year (observes the Guardian) a 113 drophobia panic prevails, either generally or partially, in this country, and the poor dogs are either doomed to be muzzled, or subject to be shot or knocked on the head if found at large without the prescribed gag. The venerable political apostate, Burden, alluded to the subject in his place in Par.. Lamely - , late in the Session, but he does not appear to have made any motion on the occasion. Instead of dooming the poor dogs to a species of periodical torturing restraint which 4 must have a tendency to render them mad by preventing them from drinking, as we have known it to be the case, our Teen in authority, who order all dogs to be shot that are found at large unmuzzled; would act more wisely if they would provide numerous small water tanks for the animals, and then there would no more be heard of hydrophobia. In this country hot weather and hydrophobia are generally associated, as cause and effect, and yet there is every reason to believe that such association is purely imaginary. We have often called the attention of cur readers to the fact that in hotter countries than ours, where dogs are more numerous, the hydrophobia is unknown. We have heard this asserted by travellers who have visited Constantinople, and still more frequently by those who are acquainted with Portugal. It seems that Lisbon swarms with dogs, which prowl about night and clay without any owner, and yet it is said that no cases of hyirophobia are ever heard of there.
